I should start this post by explaining that right behind our house is 14 acres of protected natural wetland preserves. It’s beautifully wooded (so is part of our yard) and has a neat stream running through it. We’ve had deer in our front yard on Christmas Eve and huge woodchucks in our backyard — despite its fence!

Nate was home on his dinner break tonight when he got called out suddenly on police business. Since he thought he still had a-half-an-hour left, his police canine Sirus was in the backyard doing what dogs do in backyards. Nate ran to the back door and called for Sirus to come in so they could leave. Sirus seemed to take a little longer than usual, and we soon saw why.

He brought a possum into my house! EWWW! Quick thinking Nate had Sirus stay, which sorta trapped the disgusting thing in our back entry way and Nate kicked it outside. Gross.

I’ve never been happier that my husband thinks on his feet and wears big boots to work. It doesn’t hurt that he carries a gun, too.
